Have you ever considered how much time and money your team spends cleaning your facility? Or does your team simply not have the bandwidth to clean thoroughly and consistently?
Either way, janitorial services could be costing you more time and money than you think. But fear not, this is where the advantages of a janitorial cleaning service can come in handy.
In this article, we’ll walk through the benefits of janitorial services and help you decide whether or not it’s the right move for your business.
Outsourcing your janitorial cleaning services relieves your team from tasks that take away from the more important parts of your organization. Small businesses may not require a lot of time and resources to keep up on regular tasks like trash removal and disinfecting, but for a larger organization, it can be very time-consuming.
Hiring a professional janitorial service can help you save time on these manual tasks, leading to other benefits like cost savings, better employee morale, and more. Let’s take a look at the possible benefits.
There are plenty of advantages of outsourcing janitorial cleaning services beyond saving time that make it a worthwhile investment. Below, we’ll dive into each of the benefits to help you decide if it’s right for your organization.
While there is a cost associated with enlisting professional janitorial services, it could still save you money in the long run.
Typically, a janitorial service provider will supply the tools necessary to clean your facility, taking the cost off your plate. Oftentimes, janitorial services can purchase these supplies in bulk or obtain them from a wholesaler, a discount that may not have been obtainable otherwise. This helps your business avoid the ongoing cost of cleaning supplies. It also prevents the cost of hiring and staffing employees, and paying those employees benefits or overtime if someone calls off.
With outsourcing, your service provider will manage the janitorial team for you. For example, B&T uses a multi-layer management approach – area managers and operations managers – to ensure our team members are doing exactly what you signed up for. This leads to better accountability, workflow, and communication.
Instead of overseeing janitorial operations, you can spend time managing your business. If you do have a concern, an area or operations manager can provide quick solutions to any obstacles.
Another benefit of a professional cleaning team is that they’re not only qualified but also certified.
B&T belongs to an organization known as the Building Service Contractors Association International (BSCAI), which gives us access to training and proven processes and standards around the world. For some of our positions, we require certifications issued by the BSCAI, and we require structured training for all of our cleaners. Plus, all of our operations managers are required to obtain a RBSM (Registered Building Service Manager) certification through BSCAI before visiting any of our partners’ facilities.
A clean workspace promotes a healthier, happier team. Professional janitorial and disinfection services help stop the spread of illness by eliminating germs from surfaces and the air. The result? Fewer sick days, higher productivity, and in many cases, improved employee retention.
Ultimately, partnering with a professional cleaning service keeps your business running efficiently and your team feeling their best. This allows businesses to focus on what they do best, leaving janitorial services to professionals. Plus, a spotless facility speaks volumes about your professionalism, leaving a lasting impression on clients and visitors alike.
A professional janitorial team can customize its services and schedule to fit your needs.
If you need a janitorial service team early in the morning or require a flexible ongoing schedule to accommodate your business hours, your janitorial service contract can be customized to fit the needs of your facility. This can be true for the unique needs of many different facility types, including banks, medical buildings, warehouses, manufacturing plants, or office spaces.
Services themselves can be customized as well. Many janitorial services have a la carte options like floor cleaning, staffing, pressure washing, window cleaning, and more that can be included based on your facility’s needs.
While the benefits of a janitorial service team speak for themselves, you may still be wondering if it’s the right time to hire one. Here are some circumstances where hiring a professional janitorial service may be beneficial for your business:
If you’ve ever had to…
With time-saving, cost-cutting, and stress-reducing advantages, a professional janitorial team is a smart investment for any facility. Whether you’re unhappy with the level of training of your current cleaning staff, spending too much time managing your staff, or just tired of spending money on supplies, it may be the right time to outsource.
